Hi there, I have 2 questions:
1) I attended a UK university studying BSc(Honors) in Computer Science. This was a 3 year course and the only year that contributed towards my final result was the final year. I did very little work in the first two years, and studied intensively for my final year. As a result I achieved very low marks in the first 2 years and very high marks for the final year, I have a '1st' degree which is the highest achievable final grade with the exception of a distinction. However my overall GPA from the entire 3 years is low. Should I point this out or try and explain it on my application ? Will the University take the final year marks as the GPA or all 3 years ?
2) Secondly, I briefly attended a Business School part time to study for an MBA. I was there for 1 semester but the part-time route did not work for me and so I dropped out. Do I need to mention this time as part of my application ?
Thanks in advance
